The South African Police Service (SAPS) is appealing a court decision that requires them to pay over R1 billion to Forensic Data Analysts for a contract they previously cancelled. The dispute has led to the shutdown of a biometric firearm tracking system, resulting in the loss of thousands of police weapons.
Acting national police commissioner Gen Puleng Dimpane is seeking the intervention of the Supreme Court of Appeal (SCA) regarding a R1.2bn debt, as costs escalate daily with interest in a R460m contract the police reneged on.
